@Sebastian-Roth Hello
then i made the test to deploy. Except the ftp problem (solved for the moment by editing “/var/www/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php”.
There is again a problem :
Now the deployement works fine, i mean no error message from partclone but once deployement finished :
“Error loading operating system”

i made some test :

sfdisk -d /dev/sda
label: dos
label-id: 0x2bd2c32a
device: /dev/sda
unit: sectors

/dev/sda1 : start=          40, size=      257480, type=de
/dev/sda2 : start=      257520, size=   102401024, type=7, bootable
/dev/sda3 : start=   102658544, size=   209841152, type=7

For sfdisk as you can see , the informations are not the same than my older post

@Sebastian-Roth Hello
I updated fog to the version 4919 / 6527 and i cant deploy image :

Failed to create deployment tasking for the following hosts
You must first upload an image to create a download task

@Sebastian-Roth Same problem

@Sebastian-Roth said:

@plegrand Please search the forums for “is smaller than source”. There are a lot of discussions on this. Usually comes from recovery partitions that come with vendor installations. Or do you see this error only after a FOG upgrade from yesterday just as the OP does??
I think you’re right about this because the problem come with dell workstation each time
and restauration partition

Edit: Just remembered your other posts (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6620/fog-restore-only-one-partition). I am not sure if this is related to what EAHarvey is seeing.
may be it’s not the same problem

then sorry for the noise !!

@Sebastian-Roth hello

I have the same problem today with dell optiplex 760 worstation
Partclone says :

Target partition size (xxx MB) is smaller than source xxx MB. 
Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous)

And just after

Image failed to restore and exited with exit code 0 (writeImage)

May be same problem ?

@Tom-Elliott hello
i just made the following test with latest version : 6476 / 4895
just create deploy task
same problem

After upgrade, Do i have to put on my own tftp server the new ipxe.krn file ?

@Tom-Elliott
no
do i have to capture again or just deploy ?

@Tom-Elliott Hello
Fog 6427 / 4874

here is the tests i made

• Restore the station with an old symantec ghost image
• List partitions with diskpart

DISKPART> list disk
 Disque ###  Statut      Taille     Libre     Dyn  Gpt
 --------  ---------  -----------  --------   ---  ---
 Disque 0    Connecté     149 GB      0 B

 DISKPART> select disk 0
 Le disque 0 est maintenant le disque sélectionné.

 DISKPART> list partition
 Partition ###  Type              Taille     Décalage
 -------------  ----------------  -------  -----------
 Partition 1    OEM                126 MB    20 KB
 Partition 2    Principale          49 GB   126 MB
 Partition 3    Principale         100 GB    49 GB

• Defragmentation of all the partition
• On fog create a image :

	default: Windows 2000/XP
	Single Disk - Resizable
	Everything

• Assign the new image to the host
• On fog create a new capture task for the station as a debug task
• Launch the task
• Capture works fine
  On the server fog :

	d1.fixed_size_partitions
	d1.minimum.partitions
	d1.original.fstypes
	d1.original.swapuuids
	d1p1.img
	d1p2.img
	d1p3.img
	d1.partitions

	cat d1.fixed_size_partitions 
	1:

	cat d1.minimum.partitions 
	label: dos
	label-id: 0x2bd2c32a
	device: /dev/sda
	unit: sectors

	/dev/sda1 : start=          40, size=      257480, type=de
	/dev/sda2 : start=      257520, size=    31386360, type=7, bootable
	/dev/sda3 : start=   102657680, size=      779520, type=7

	cat d1.original.fstypes 
	/dev/sda2 ntfs
	/dev/sda3 ntfs

	cat d1.partitions 
	label: dos
	label-id: 0x2bd2c32a
	device: /dev/sda
	unit: sectors

	/dev/sda1 : start=          40, size=      257480, type=de
	/dev/sda2 : start=      257520, size=   102400160, type=7, bootable
	/dev/sda3 : start=   102657680, size=   209839360, type=7

At reboot, the station stay displaying “Booting…”

Then i try to deploy the image

• Create a new deploy task for the host

During the restauration of /dev/sda1, i’ve got the following error message from partclone

Target partition size (132MB) is smaller than source 132 MB. 
Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous)

And just after

Image failed to restore and exited with exit code 0 (writeImage)
Args passed /images/test/d1p1 img* /dev/sda1

Then the only solution is to redeploy the old ghost image

@Sebastian-Roth
i have to capture again before deploy ?

Just to be clearer, here is my configuration :

On my own pxe server(dhcp and tftp) 192.168.151.247
dhcp is configured like that :

 next-server 192.168.151.247;
 filename "pxelinux.0";

then on my tftp server i’ve got pxelinux.0 into the tftp root directory
and
this configuration

LABEL FOG_ETUDIANTS
KERNEL fog/ipxe.krn dhcp && chain http://192.168.39.243/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}

192.168.39.243 is the fog ip address
Do i have to put on my tftp server the new ipxe.krn file ?

@Tom-Elliott Hello
does that mean that with the latest version it will work ?
Do you want i try ?
Thanks for your help

@Tom-Elliott
Hello
i just made a test today with an other station
Dell Optiplex 760 with again 3 partitions
Here is the image definition :
default: Windows 2000/XP
Single Disk - Resizable
Everything

The capture seems to works fine and i can see in the “images” directory :

ls -al /home/images/Optiplex760780/
total 8355044
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 févr. 23 10:09 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 févr. 23 10:09 …
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 févr. 23 09:44 d1.fixed_size_partitions
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 249 févr. 23 09:49 d1.minimum.partitions
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 févr. 23 09:49 d1.original.fstypes
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 févr. 23 09:44 d1.original.swapuuids
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3706587 févr. 23 09:49 d1p1.img
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8551432512 févr. 23 10:09 d1p2.img
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 392584 févr. 23 10:09 d1p3.img
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 249 févr. 23 09:44 d1.partitions

But when i try to deploy this image on the same station i’ve got again this error message at the beginning :
“This is not a partclone image”

Now the station is “dead” and cant boot “Error loading operating system”

It’s a real problem because we have a lot of this kind of station

I made a test : Multicast and unicast 12 stations

**Multicast **=> 04h 40min
**Unicast ** => 28min

@Wayne-Workman Hello
just for information :
On my switch i configure (force) the igmp version to “3”, may be i should use the default version : “2” ?

An other question : i thought that fog used “udpcast” for multicasting, is it true ?

@plegrand said:

It’s not our dns servers

You don’t have to use them. You can make your own and direct all hosts to use yours.

I install dynamique DNS with bind and it works fine. Thanks again

@Wayne-Workman said:

@plegrand You can configure DHCP to update DNS as it gives out leases.

It’s not our dns servers

And if you saw fog stuff elsewhere - I can’t vouch for those other sources, they might be legit, might not be. They are highly likely to have been written for 1.2.0 or even earlier. The code base has gone through dramatic changes (for the better). Any instructions you find elsewhere might not even directly apply anymore. I’d recommend asking the @Developers for suggestions on how to do it.

OK
you mean if i add on this thread “@Developers”, they will see my post and may be answer ?
Anyway thanks a lot for your help and the time spended.
Fog is a very great application (not like my english !!)
As you can see it’s not very important question
Thanks again
I’ll make some tests for multicast (other thread), it’s more important for me

@Wayne-Workman
no we use our own dhcp server (dynamic)

But i saw on the net it was possible to use netbios name with wins for fog ping. But i cant make it works

@Wayne-Workman
Hmm sorry , we’ve got a dns to use internet, but all the station are not into this dns then i imagine that fog cant ping those stations
